If a current of `0.5A` flows through a metallic wire for 2 hours, then how many electrons would flow through the wire ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Quantity of charge (Q) passed `="Current in amperes"xx"Time in seconds" =(0.5 A)xx(2xx60xx60 s)`
3600 As =3600 C
No. of electrons flowing through the wire by passing a charge of one faraday (96500 C) `=6.022xx10^(23)`
No. of electrons flowing through the wire by passing a charge of 3600 C
`=6.022xx10^(23)xx((3600 C))/((96500 C))=2.246xx10^(22)`
